“[A] rousing mash-up of military SF thriller and paranormal experience . Scarlett is a resourceful and endearing heroine.”-Web publishers Weekly

What if you’d a power you’d to cover from everyone-until now? In this strong sci-fi action thriller, a top secret training curriculum at West Point is normally turning misfits into a new generation of heroes.

Scarlett Winter is definitely an outsider, and not just because she’s a hardcore daredevil and created troublemaker-she continues to be hiding superhuman powers she about THE IDEA doesn’t yet understand. Now she’s been recruited by a key West Point device for cadets with remarkable capabilities. Scarlett and her fellow college students are learning to hone their skills, from telekinetic fight to working recon missions through strangers’ dreamscapes. At THE IDEA, Scarlett discovers that she could be the most powerful cadet of most. With the energy to control real energy, she’s a individual nuclear bomb-and she’s uncertain she can control her capabilities much longer.

Even with this army of outsiders, Scarlett feels like a misfit all over again, but when a danger that endangers her fellow learners comes from the school’s dark previous, duty phone calls and Scarlett must make a choice between getting herself and getting something even greater: a hero.
